The New Wave Promise
The New Wave Promise & Give Back Program
New Wave Festival was built to give creative people a real place to be seen, heard, and felt.
As the festival grows, our commitment stays the same: Michigan artists, DJs, musicians, vendors, mystics, healers, and creators will always be part of what makes New Wave real.
We care about originality, energy, message, presence, and connection, not just follower counts or polished appearances.
New Wave is here to create space for expression, community, and creative opportunity in Michigan.
The wave keeps growing, and local creativity stays part of it.

Whether it’s a track that moves the crowd or a beat that makes them feel something they’ve never felt before, we want to hear it. The New Wave Give Back Program is your chance to step into the spotlight, connect with an audience that’s ready to vibe with you, and get the recognition you deserve. Let’s push boundaries together—bring your full expression, and show us how you’re going to rock the stage at New Wave.

The New Wave Give Back Program is all about celebrating local talent, offering you opportunities to connect with a passionate community and elevate your work to the next level. This is your moment to create something bold, something magical—because at New Wave, your art IS the experience.
